Half day tour of Mykonos - We were very fortunate to have Renata as our guide. As soon as she arrived to pick us up she engaged us in her commentary about the beauty of Mykonos. It was easy to relate to her right from the start because she was genuinely warm and friendly. Renata was very knowledgeable about the places we visited for our tour. Her snippets about Greek mythology were interesting. I enjoyed participating in Zorba the Greek dance led by Renata. An excellent tour experience, thanks to Renata and expert driver George, to whom we owe our thanks.

Fun day on Mykonos - We had a fabulous day with our driver, Helena, and our guide, Petra. They showed us all around the island, provided snacks on a beach and were delightful. They played Greek music in the car and showed us a bit of the Greek spirit waving tissues in the air. We had a great time. Petra was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. It really was a fun, special and memorable day. I highly recommend this tour.

Relaxing Mykonos Sight Seeing Cultural Tour - We travelled with our 19 and 21 year old daughters. This was their favorite tour we took! Plus, my husband and myself enjoyed ourselves very much. .Our tour guide Katarina was excellent. She was extremely personable, knowledgeable, flexible, and sweet. We began our day at the lighthouse enabling us to see the beautiful view of the sea and neighboring islands followed by a walking with the highlight being the famous windmills. We ended our day with beach time at the beautiful beach Agari off the beaten path. We enjoyed our time relaxing and swimming in the clear water. Our driver was also very hospitable. He stopped on the side of the road and provided us with carrots to feed some local donkeys which was fun. My family was sad to say goodbye. We had a genuinely enjoyable day! it was also very sweet of them to give us yummy authentic spinach pie to try. If we ever go back to Mykonos we will definitely look up this company again and do another tour with them. Katarina and our driver do other tours.

Fantastic Mykonos Half Day Tour!! - This island tour was AMAZING! Our tour guide Iro was phenomenal!! She was a wealth of information about Mykonos. We made several stops for some great pictures! We saw a really cool lighthouse, fed some donkeys, explored some villages, spent some time at Agarari Beach, and ventured through the maze of walkways in Mykonos Town and made our way to the windmills in Little Venice. I highly recommend this tour! We all agreed it was one of the highlights of our 3 week tour of Europe.

Great tour - I can not express enough about how excellent this tour was. If all of their operators are like Illana(the guide) and Dimitris(the driver), then you can not go wrong. It was worth every penny paid. The driver was extremely courteous, helping us in/out of the jeep, and ensuring the temp was comfortable for us. Illana was completely knowledgeable about the entire island, people, culture. She had a great explanation for all of our questions.

SIMPLY AMAZING - It’s not very often you get to truly “rave” about something anymore, but Vasili and Petra were absolutely brilliant. The tour honestly feels like it’s built around each group of guests. We were given so much information and were treated like family. They ensured that we saw what was important and skipped the smaller things to ensure that we got everything we wanted done, and still had a great experience. TAKE THIS TOUR!!!
